Sufficiency of blinding the eyes and mouth or drawing a line on the neck
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it sufficient in blinding (tamis) to blind the eyes and mouth, or to draw a line on the neck?
The Shaykh:
No, drawing a line on the neck is mere play; it is beside the image, as if it were above it. But blinding removes the features of the face so that there is no nose, no face, no eyes, and no mouth. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, she says.
The Shaykh:
Complete blinding is cutting off the head and removing it; that is complete blinding. Yes.
